   Emma Dean: General Info
Member Since12/13/2005
Band Websitewww.emmadean.com
Band MembersMost artists are content to stick with the formula they’re known for, changing as much or as little as they think they can get away with. But Emma Dean isn’t most artists. In fact, on her debut album – Real Life Computer Game – the Brisbane-based performer has headed into new sonic territory and created a new genre – ‘Elastic Pop Theatre’. It’s bigger, bolder and more ambitious than anything she’s ever done, showing her growth as a person and evolution as a musician and songwriter, while also staying true to her innovative take on modern music.

   About Emma Dean
EMMA DEAN IS NOT LIKE MOST MUSICIANS

Most musicians are content to stick with they’re formula, changing as much or as little as they think they can get away with

NOT EMMA DEAN

The singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist continues to delve into new sonic territory. Real Life Computer Game, the recent debut album from this unique performer, steals the listener away for an exploration of the magical and mystical world where live music meets theatre. It’s BIGGER, its’ BOLDER, it’s more ambitious than anything she’s ever done.

"...a masterpiece; no doubt about it....easily fits into my top 10 albums of the year so far." Kaz Mitchell, Inpress Magazine, Melbourne

Hi Emma!

My teacher (Drama Teacher) has purchased the soundtrack for The Tempest, and has been playing it in class, and I am getting a copy! It's SUPER Amazing :) My favourite song is "When I touch my heart".
You are an amazing composer, and will continue to be!

As I twittered you, I was compelled to come back last night as well!

An actual quote from email correspondence RE the show today:

"There is no next time. I’ve exhausted myself with telling people how unbelievable it is. I went, was just astounded, and brought a friend back the next night on me because I knew she couldn’t NOT experience it."

Haha if I was a journo I would have done an awesome write up!

the tempest was amazing! you were absolutely stunning as ariel!
nothing i say will do justice to the dynamic performances given by all, not to mention the otherworldly set and haunting musical score.
people have no idea what they're missing out on at all!
actually people i've spoken to tonight should do because i haven't stopped mouthing off about it yet! (:
